Her story was one of goodwill turned sour. She explained that she had helped Regina secure a job in the US and lent her $7,000, which she hadn’t repaid despite the woman’s repeated demands.
The turning point came when the woman was travelling from the US to Ghana, and Regina entrusted her with $4,000 in cash. Of this amount, $1,000 was designated for Regina’s mother, and the remaining $3,000 was for a personal project.
However, given the outstanding debt, the woman decided to deliver the $1,000 to Regina’s mother as instructed, while retaining the $3,000 as partial repayment of the $7,000.
As she narrated the event, the Ghanaian woman shared their WhatsApp conversation and the text threat from Regina.
“Hi Sammy, this is my last message to you. I’ve given you 24 hours to return my lucky 3k or else I’ll pay some bloggers to circulate your pictures, and I’ll tell them the full gist. Take it from me, you won’t like it. Do the needful; sometimes, money is not for playing. You’ve forgotten how I’ve helped you in the past.”
Facing a 24-hour ultimatum, the woman pleaded with the public to contact her for the full story should Regina follow through on her threat.
